Lazy fox at Amsterdamse Waterleiding Duinen

I came to this park, a 90 minute drive, especially for the foxes. For a few years already I have seen spectacular photos of them from fellow JungleDragon members (notably Wendy and Roeselien). These foxes are "famous" in the dutch photography community, so this year I finally made an attempt to see them myself.

After a full morning walk in the park, I still had not seen them. As it was my first visit, I did not know my way around, yet I kept searching and asking people if they had seen them. I took a 2nd walk in the afternoon despite my feet killing me (not wearing the right shoes). I came across a lady with a huge tele lens and asked her if she had seen them. She did, but it was another 3 miles ahead. I cringed, because that meant that after those 3 miles, I had several more afterwards to return to my car. I decided to push on.

Ultimately, far away I could see a small group of people. This must be the spotting place. As I came near them, I noticed them all watching in the same direction. So as I continued walking, I watched whatever they were watching, hoping that they were looking at a fox.

And here it comes, as I was looking to the right whilst walking, I almost stepped on this fox, who was inches away to my left, laying on the ground. I was shocked. The fox wasn't.
